Interior Painting

Interior Painting Specifications

• Cover all floors, countertops, appliances, furniture, etc. prior to painting.
• Tape all glass if necessary with blue tape plastic and/or paper to protect glass from sandpaper, easy removal even after extended periods of exposure to sunlight, and for clean, sharp edges after painting.
• We will move and cover large furniture and replace after painting. We do ask for table tops to be cleared and any loose items boxed up and removed from the painting area.
• We remove outlet covers and switch plate covers. We tape and replace after painting.
• Tape all trim edges before painting walls. Covering baseboards prior to painting.
• Do all necessary and agreed upon wall and trim repair. Standard prep is to caulk corners and fill in pin holes/nail holes. If you would like to keep your nail holes please let us know!
• We look for all cracks, water damage and defects, repair, and do any retexturing as needed. (These will be listed as individual charges.)
• We prime all bare drywall or repairs, as well as any other necessary areas with the appropriate primers prior to painting.
• Ceilings are recommended painted in a flat paint in color chosen. This is to minimize light reflection or sheen, which on ceilings highlights any drywall imperfections, and is distracting. Although high moisture areas like bathrooms may benefit from a glossy paint on the ceiling.
• Walls are recommended painted in a top line interior wall paint in color and sheen specified. There are many types of wall paints available at a wide variety of prices.

Interior Painting – Woodwork & Enamel Specifications

• We sand, clean, prime bare wood and paint all enamel specified on your proposal. Sanding is necessary to ensure good adhesion between coats.
• We check for all cracks in woodwork, doors, windows, and wall corners, etc., and caulk with a premium 60 year caulk.
• We paint enamel with a brush, roll and airless sprayer. It’s best to spray in an empty home.
• Our standard is two coats unless otherwise specified.

Please Note

The number of coats of paint on drywall or enamel work is usually two finish coats after preparation, whether applied by roller, brush or sprayer. Application methods and dry times between coats are different depending on color, sheen, temperature/humidity as well as the product used.

After all work is done, we clean it all up, remove all the tape, paper and plastic. We replace all the hardware and outlet covers, put all the furniture back and remove all unnecessary paint cans (we will leave touch up paint for all areas and colors on site).
